Joanne D. Los Angeles CA Cat Sitter

Joanne D.— In-Home Pet Sitter

Professional & Experienced

"Cats fascinate me with their fun-loving and curious nature. They are cute, cuddly, and one of the best joys of life."

About Joanne D.

I began my love of cats at age 5 with Alexander, a Russian Blue. Over the years, and as my family has grown, we have adopted, fostered, and cared for many cats. I have cared for friends and neighbor’s cats, rabbits, and dogs. I am a supporter of may animal rescues, advocacy groups and sanctuaries. I understand the many moods and personalities of cats. I am an empty-nester and have time to care for your kitty while you are away. I can care for your plants, am a non-smoker, and am very patient with meeting new animals. I have learned that even the most reclusive kitty can’t resist a crinkly brown paper bag. I empathize with pet owners anxiety when they need to trust someone else to follow their instructions, and ensure their cat is well cared for. I am neat, punctual, and will treat your home with respect. I was a Girl Scout leader for 8 years, and can wrangle children, horses, and cats. I am active in my community, and serve on my local Neighborhood Council. After a long career of 9 to 5, I have left the corporate world behind, and now concentrating my time on what I love: animals! I’m a long-time West Los Angeles resident, and can travel to surrounding areas of Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Culver City, Mar Vista, and other communities. I look forward to meeting you and your cat.

What Clients Say About Joanne D.

"Joanne is extremely responsible, dedicated, ethical, honest, and loving with animals. We knew we could always rely on her to care for our beloved cats in our absence, and it's a big job because they are used to a lot of human time and love as well as clean litter boxes at all times. She always did a wonderful job and we were very fortunate."

"Honesty. To a fault. Joanne cannot lie, fib or even stretch the truth. It can be annoying sometimes! She is a rule follower. She respects authority. She takes her responsibility on the NC very seriously and I would say she is one of the most contributing members on our board."
